About

Visit our website at www.penpowersf.com.  

We are a full-service book marketing company with over 60 years’ combined publishing and marketing-related experience and over 40 years in creative communications.

Our talented team is poised to take your book to new heights — whether it be creating a simple or complex media kit, securing radio interviews, print or other broadcast media interviews, serial rights, award competitions, book reviews (both pre and post-publication), social media development and tutoring, website evaluation and enhancement or creation of an entirely new website for your publishing company, your book, or you as an individual; and, last but not least, a way to get your books into brick and mortar bookstores nationwide via wholesale distribution through Baker & Taylor.

We have the skills and we know how to brand you as an author and create a strong foundation from which to launch your title! We also have a “can-do” attitude and accomplish just about anything we set our minds to in the world of book marketing. Of course, it helps that we rarely take “no” for an answer!

We currently represent a variety of authors and books on subjects as diverse as adrenaline dominance and how to fix it, poetry books full of grace and healing, a graphic novel series with Jingles, a soul-eating frog as a pivotal character, a book about taking up motorcycle riding again (in midlife no less!) with all its inherent lessons spelled out, and other subjects like finding peace as a gay Christian, or a call to action about breaking big money’s grip in American politics. We are also promoting some very wonderful Southwest mystery titles along with a regional work on the ills of the oil industry and the greed at the heart of it all. We’re even promoting works by the founder of the Inner Mammal Institute! This is just a sampling of the many titles, subjects and authors we are fortunate enough to be working with.    

Our authors live in all parts of the country and we work with local New Mexico authors as well. We enjoy their works immensely, and especially love doing a good job by successfully navigating the ever-changing landscape of the publishing world.  

Some recent success stories include a stint on the Jenny McCarthy Show; a 2015 International Book award finalist, articles placed in wellness journals and alternative medicine magazines, articles appearing in Nation of Change and Alternet, and awards galore. We have winners and finalists in the following competitions: 2015 National Indie Excellence Awards; 2015 Beverly Hills Book Awards; 2014 USA Best Book Awards; 2015 Readers’ Views Literary Awards; 2015 Next Generation Indie Book Awards; 2015 Southwest Book Design & Production Awards; 2014 Foreword Reviews’ Indiefab Book of the Year Awards; and, the 2015 Illumination Awards!
